The Mourners Poem by Ian Keenan

The Mourners

Rating: 4.0


His death has flayed them,
Crossed and weeping,
Conclusions buried,
Fingers flailing dust,
Questions piled frantic. ,

They walk sightless
About the sun,
And on their knees
Exhausted -
Crack stones for water.

They rest in the past
On him that cannot rest;
They do not think him
Dead,
Just that he barely touches them,
His path not quite in line
With theirs.
